Stable access to land is key for the growth of any farm business. At the foundation of that resiliency is clear communication, solid commitments, and good paperwork. No matter who you are or your background, you have the ability to build resilience for yourself. In this session, we’ll explore key tools to build communication, commitments, and paperwork that meet your goals.

Join Farm Commons and Conservation Law Foundation’s Legal Food Hub to learn more about managing legal risk on the farm.

Presenters include:

Sarah Vaile joined the Farm Commons team in 2018, serving as Staff Attorney for Core Resilience. Sarah has been a licensed attorney in Oregon since 2007 and has gained experience practicing law in a diversity of areas including estate planning and administration, business law, family law, land use and criminal defense. Sarah’s real passion, however, is food and farming, and she now shares her legal expertise and experience to help cultivate legal resilience for sustainable farmers nationwide. A graduate of the Pace University School of Law and the University of Indiana, she lives in southern Oregon with her husband and two sons.
